Taylor won't part from husband again

Jessica Taylor has admitted that she cannot bear to be parted from her cricket star husband Kevin Pietersen.

The former Liberty X singer was forced to spend 11 weeks away from Pietersen when she took part in ITV1's Dancing On Ice earlier this year - as he was busy playing for England in the West Indies.

Speaking in an interview with The Mirror, Taylor explained: "In an ideal world, that would never have happened. We'd always be together if we could but we decided to go with it because that's how things worked out. But we don't want to do it again."

She added: "I'm so excited about this summer. I'm going to be at the Ashes pretty much all the time - there are five Tests all over the country right through the summer. But I really love it, especially because I want to spend some proper time with Kevin."

Taylor finished in third place on Dancing On Ice earlier this year, losing out to Donal MacIntyre and Ray Quinn in the final.
